International Olympic Committee Says Biological Male Trans Athletes Should Not Have to Lower Testosterone to Compete in Women’s Events
The Daily Signal ^ | November 18, 2021 | Laurel Duggan, the Daily Caller

The International Olympic Committee recommended that sports organizations allow biologically male, transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports without lowering their testosterone levels.

The committee stated that no athlete should be excluded from competition based on unverified, alleged, or perceived unfair competitive advantage due to biological sex in a Tuesday report. The report says athletes should compete in sports based on their self-determined gender identity and should not be subject to “targeted testing” to determine biological sex.

“Athletes should not be deemed to have an unfair or disproportionate competitive advantage due to their sex variations, physical appearance and/or transgender status,” the report said.

The International Olympic Committee went on to state that athletes should never be pressured to undergo “medically unnecessary treatments,” including hormone therapy, which some transgender people use to lower their testosterone to the level to that of a biological female.

The International Olympic Committee is wrong in this case. Men who wish to be females want to compete in woman’s events because it gives them an edge in terms of strenth. The chemical advantage they get in their body allows them to outstretch the strenth in the female’s bodies. That is obvious. The IOC is hiding their eyes to appease liberals. They should not, in all fairness, do that.

The other thing is that men who wouldn’t have a hope in hell of winning in a men’s competition can now compete with the women and win there.

This is true for everything.

We should tell our servile compliant employers that we IDENTIFY as vaccinated. They should not be able to question it.

Turn liberal sickness against them wherever you can!

Excellent. Is that truly a Voltaire quote? It’s a good one regardless.

Exactly!

Why should there be separate competitions?

It should all be unisex.

Certain events will be safe enough. Unisex balance beam, for example. Some problems just sort of take care of themselves...

“The committee stated that no athlete should be excluded from competition based on unverified, alleged, or perceived unfair competitive advantage due to biological sex in a Tuesday report.”

*****

Then why have separate events? Just line everyone up and let them have at it.

May the best human win.

A simple meritocracy, absent socially contrived, alleged, unverifiable labels of patriarchal division.

Do the same thing with the race labels, and do it everywhere.

So it is OK to pit a man againast a woman, but in boxing and wrestling they are still going to have categories for body wieght? Why? A man weighing 170 lbs can compete in the wowmen’s javelin throw? A man weighing 130 points cannot compete agains a heavyweight boxer weighing
220 lbs?

Social media did this, enabled this. Almost no one agrees with this crap but big tech makes sure everyone stays nice and quiet if in opposition to it.

And just like that, women no longer won any Olympic medals.

Women should be able to compete amongst themselves.

If they want transgenders to be able to compete, start a
third system for them.

They shouldn’t destroy women’s sports.

In ten years there won’t be a single women’s record left
standing.

If there were transgender men and woman sections they know that no one would watch.

Female athletes in all sports. Including gymnastics and ice skating, should boycott the Olympics until they treat female athletes fairly.

But they won’t. If asked about this most of them will probably praise it. So they get to see a lifetime worth of hard work erased by some dude who could never make the mens team.

Some sh*tty men’s team like Romania should all don wigs and play as women. They could win the gold medal.

All athletes should compete in one event, then the results should show if transgendered or natural male or female.
